| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a 19th-century Hanukkah lamp (Hanukiah) from Tunisia, drawn from the collection of the Israel Museum, Jerusalem. The lamp is rendered in fine detail, showcasing its distinctive North African form with multiple oil reservoirs. A Hebrew inscription below the lamp identifies it as 'חנוכיה מתוניסיה המאה הי"ט' (Hanukkah Lamp from Tunisia, 19th Century). The design is set against a plain field, allowing the ornate form of the lamp to serve as the primary decorative element. |
